ATF has announced the launch of the Channel Islands’ first-ever Sustainable Aviation Fuel Certificate Book and Claim scheme.
This innovative initiative allows aviation users in the Channel Islands to effectively claim the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for their operations, marking a significant step toward a more sustainable future in aviation.
The Sustainable Aviation Fuel Certificate (SAFC) Book and Claim scheme enables aviation users – from airlines to private jet operators – to purchase SAF certificates that represent the environmental benefits of SAF usage, even if the fuel itself is not physically available at their departure location. This groundbreaking mechanism offers flexibility and accessibility for aviation stakeholders committed to reducing their carbon footprint while supporting the global transition to greener aviation practices.
ATF is deeply committed to driving sustainable change within the aviation sector. By introducing the SAFc Book and Claim scheme, ATF is providing a practical solution that not only aligns with global climate goals but also encourages responsible fuel consumption practices across the industry. The scheme is designed to simplify the process of acquiring SAF certificates, enabling users to contribute to carbon reduction and support the production and adoption of SAF on a larger scale.
“We are excited to be the first to introduce this innovative scheme in the Channel Islands,” said Jonathan Best at ATF. “The SAFc Book and Claim scheme is a testament to our dedication to sustainability and our commitment to providing aviation users with the tools they need to make a real impact on reducing carbon emissions.
“By making SAF more accessible through this flexible and efficient mechanism, we are taking a meaningful step toward a greener and more sustainable future for aviation.”
Sophie Roffe, Ports of Jersey Head of Sustainability and Community Value, added: “We are delighted to launch the SAF book and claim system with ATF. Transporting the fuel to be used directly on-Island would reduce the decarbonisation benefits, so supporting its use to refuel closer to the source in France, is a more sustainable option and an important step in the industry’s journey to net zero. As part of our decarbonisation roadmap, we are passionate about supporting our business partners to decarbonise and are always looking for opportunities to continue to develop partnerships to reduce aviation carbon emissions, trialling and developing next-generation technologies as they evolve and become ready for commercial use.”
